We work with Family Centres, Meithrins and Libraries where our team of Active Young People Officers provide training and ongoing support to leaders to enable them to deliver fun active sessions confidently.
The focus is on providing numerous opportunities for young children to be active, build confidence and motivation, and enhance their physical skills such as running, kicking, catching, throwing, and balancing. Learning and developing these skills from a young age is important so that children, as they get older, can use these skills in sport and physical activity.

We work with Family Centres across Carmarthenshire.
